Hi there! I’m Kevin, the visual content intern for Hurrdat this summer.
It’s such an incredible opportunity to work in Lincoln doing what I love most: design. That being said, when I’m not creating graphic content for the Hurrdat internship account, I also proudly serve as the office specialist in all things related to inordinately dramatic TV shows, severe weather, and a cappella music.
It may not be a surprise to anyone, but I come from an extremely diverse background when it comes to my education and what interests me. I grew up in Omaha as an awkward child obsessed with tornadoes (not joking), and it was clear to me, and everyone I grew up with, that my future career path would lead me to the big screen — that is, reporting the weather on TV. Believe it or not, I started school at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2012 as a meteorology major. Somewhere along the line (and don’t ask me how it happened because I still don’t completely understand), my life took a right turn and I found my way into the journalism and art schools. While chasing severe storms still gives me the giddy joy of a child on Christmas morning, my truest passion lies in creating beautiful graphic art for the world to enjoy.
Designing has become a lifestyle for me, and I have been lucky enough to gain some pretty amazing experiences through art here in Lincoln. I spent last semester in Jacht Ad Lab, a student-operated ad agency at the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, as a designer for clients who allowed me to build my portfolio and directly impact their campaign success. In addition to that, I spend my time away from school freelancing for friends and small businesses in Lincoln and Omaha. After graduation, I plan to move out of my home state of Nebraska to somewhere much, much colder, where I can start agency life as a graphic designer and begin working my way up to my ultimate career goal in art direction.
I firmly believe in the fact that good design can change the world for the better, and I’m super excited to be working with an agency that can accomplish just that. I’m gonna go watch reruns of “Scandal” on Netflix now. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me!
